Song Lyrics

All american boy with big dreams of glamour life bright lights and boogie nights the hype "everything could be yours if the price is right" grab your nothing and hold it tight the first chance you get you're heading out to the west this decision is one you won't regret move to the place where everybody knows ya like Hollywood, Los Angeles, California

Chorus
So you wannna be a superstar welcome to Hollywood quick money, fly women, fast cars welcome to Hollywood so you wannna be a superstar welcome to Hollywood high times, big dreams, living large welcome to Hollywood

One way ticket then you'll live this life of a superstar caught up in this business God as my witness you will never change only been here a day already in the game you changed your name you don't even look the same now your on top of the world money, power and fame picture perfect just like you planned no longer him 'cause you the man

[Chorus]
(Break)Welcome to Hollywood
You'll never get the best of me

The time ticks away you've had your play sold your soul for the roll now you gots to pay forfeit integrity, overnight celebrity settle for selfish gain rather than dignity another sucka why did you trust a player like me fool eternal hustler I'm taking everything and now you know I hate to tell you but I told you so

[Chorus]
High times big dreams there you are a victim of Hollywood

Philip Parris Lynott, William Scott Gorham
